How Tangerine Star works

The whole loop at a glance — from a vendor's purchase order to priced, labeled, scannable products on your shelf and in your register.

Tangerine Star takes a stack of vendor purchase orders and turns it into a clean, priced, scannable catalog — sitting alongside your register, not replacing it. Here's the whole loop, start to finish. Each step links to its full guide.

The loop

Upload the PO

Send a purchase order from any vendor into Tangerine Star. It's extracted into line items automatically — no manual typing. → Upload the PO

Receive the PO

Review the extracted lines and commit them to inventory in one step. As you do, Tangerine Star identifies reorders and flags duplicate UPCs — so repeats flow into the products you already have, and the right barcode becomes the scan target. → Receive the PO · Identifying reorders & duplicate UPCs

Create the products — with Tory

For new items, name, price, and structure them from the line items using Tory. This is where the real modeling happens:

Naming, pricing & packaging rules — encode how products should read, cost, and pack
Scaling & preserving rules — apply a decision at the merchant, vendor, PO, or one-off level, and have it stick going forward
Blanket SKUs, assortments, and multi-SKU products — the trickier shapes, handled

→ Creating Products

Generate barcodes & print labels

Each priced product gets a scannable code, and Tangerine Star prints thermal labels built for the shelf and counter. → Printing Labels

Set up your printers

Printing runs through Seymour, the companion service that connects and manages your thermal printers. → Setting up Printers

Publish to your PoS

Push the priced, structured catalog to your point-of-sale — Clover today, more over time — or export it for any system. → Publishing to PoS

Reconcile inventory & scan

Keep counts honest with reconciliation, and use the scan tool to look up, count, and verify products anywhere in the store. → Inventory
